3. Siberian Husky
Siberian Huskies are from Siberia and were bred by the Chukchi people to pull sleds. This high-energy dog is not a couch dog or backyard dog. They are an intelligent and mischievous breed that are known to be very destructive when bored or left alone. This breed is an avid digger. They are also good at escaping confinement. PetVet
calls the Siberian Husky one of the worst dog breeds for first-time pet owners, stating that "the phrase 'docile Siberian Husky' is something of an oxymoron." They have a strong predatory drive, so other pets like cats and hamsters may become prey. They are known to make loud, siren-like howling sounds. They are a great jogging companion in cooler conditions. Their thick coat sheds twice a year. Overall, they are happy, playful, and independent dogs.
